"Almighty and Eternal God, You are the everlasting health of those who believe in You. Hear our prayer for your servants who are sick.

Seder Prayer Service & Potluck March 22 at 5pm
The Seder is a ritual feast celebrated as part of the Jewish Passover celebration. It is also the meal where we recognize that Jesus "broke bread" and we continue to acknowledge this every Sunday during the Eucharist. This interactive dinner of reading, prayer, and food, will walk us through the symbols of our faith - such as the tears
The Seder is a ritual feast celebrated as part of the Jewish Passover celebration. It is also the meal where we recognize that Jesus "broke bread" and we continue to acknowledge this every Sunday during the Eucharist. This interactive dinner of reading, prayer, and food, will walk us through the symbols of our faith - such as the tears of the Israelites (in salt water), the promises God made to Moses, and unleavened bread.
We’ll once again hold this parish wide event during Lent on
Monday, March 22 at 5pm.
The event is free, however for planning purposes, registration is required. Please click the button below to register.
Stations of the Cross Wednesdays at 7pm
Stations of the Cross with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will take place on Wednesdays during Lent, at 7:00 pm except March 11th due to our Parish Mission that week.
